    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED - 2022) TEXT: 1 John 4:7=10, 1 Corinthians 13 Some of the greatest words about love in Scripture are found in 1 John 4:7-10.

    True love comes from God and is demonstrated by God in sending Jesus to die for us. Truly Loving one another can be made possible by God’s Holy Spirit living within us.

    Love is a wonderful thing isn’t it? It’s all you need. It makes the world go round. It’s a many splendoured thing. And no doubt you could all quote me several other lyrics from popular songs.

    A simple message to help us understand the incredible depth of the love of God in the birth of Jesus and his purpose in sending him so we might have a real and personal relationship with him (rather than knowing about him).

    As I was praying and preparing for this message, I knew what God had placed on my heart to share, but I couldn’t come up with any clever, cute, funny stories like I’ve had in the past. Tonight, I’m just going to shoot straight with you if I may. It’s like on those rare occasions when I do drink ...read more
